Agile Project Management - Agile Metrics Example Questions

Test your knowledge of Agile Metrics

Question 1

You are the Scrum Master of a team and notice that the Sprint Burndown chart is showing an increasing trend in remaining effort. What should you do?

Ignore the chart and continue with the Sprint. Increase the team's capacity to catch up. Discuss with the team and understand the reasons for the increasing trend. Force the team to work overtime. Cancel the Sprint and restart with a new plan. Escalate the issue to senior management.

Correct Answer: Discuss with the team and understand the reasons for the increasing trend.

In Agile, the correct approach is to collaborate with the team to identify the issues and solutions. Forcing the team to work overtime or escalating to senior management will not address the root cause of the problem.

Question 2

The sprint burndown chart of the team shows that the tasks are being consistently completed ahead of schedule. What should the Scrum Master do?

Ask the team to slow down. Reward the team members with more days off. Decrease the sprint length. Immediately increase the team's workload. Encourage the team to reassess their estimations and refine the user stories. Do nothing, as it is always better to finish tasks ahead of schedule.

Correct Answer: Encourage the team to reassess their estimations and refine the user stories.

The Scrum Master should encourage the team to reevaluate their estimations and refine user stories for better accuracy. It's important to adjust for future sprints and ensure continuous improvement.

Question 3

The sprint burndown chart shows that the team consistently meets their sprint goals, but the completed work provides little value to the stakeholders. What should the Product Owner do?

Ignore the issue as the sprint goals are still being met. Demand the team to select the features for the next sprint. Blame the team for not delivering valuable work. Cancel the project and start a new one. Ask for more team members to create more value. Collaborate with the stakeholders to refine the Product Backlog and ensure its alignment with their priorities.

Correct Answer: Collaborate with the stakeholders to refine the Product Backlog and ensure its alignment with their priorities.

The Product Owner should collaborate with stakeholders to refine the Product Backlog and align it with their priorities. This will ensure that the work done by the team is valuable and provides the desired business outcomes.
